CAN SOMEONE HOOK ME UP WITH ALL THE INFORMATION ABOUT PLAYSTATION 2 ONLINE USING THE DIAL UP CONNECTION. WHAT DO I NEED TO GET CONNECTED ?? HOW MUCH DOES IT COST ETC. AND DO I HAVE TO BE A CURRENT BROADBAND CUSTOMER ALREADY TO USE IT FOR PLAYSTATION. ( WHICH IS WHY I WANT INFO ON THE DIAL UP CONNECTION ) ANY INFORMATION IS MUCH APPRECIATED.

you get the adapter and you need hi speed interent (dsl/cable) to really get online and enjoy it....

you can buy thew sony one, or get a cheap one from eBay (there about $10-$15 on ebay, sony one is 29.99)

dreamcast online was horrible with dialup....lol

there no monthy service charge....as long as you have hi speed, you just connect the wire to the back of the ps2... there a installation disc with the sony one that sets shit up for you...

depends on the games... most of the newer games are broadband only. it will tell you on the front of the cover and back as well.

if you really want to enjoy online gaming like mustynutz said, try and get broadband. lots of folks even boot out peeps with 56k modems because they cause more lag in games.

just about all the games are free online, then there's games like everquest, final fantasy online that will charge a monthly fee to play. but there's no hidden fees bullshit like that.
